I can't, for the life of me, understand why iRex makes some of the decisions it makes.
The Wacom tablet was the feature that made me decide to buy my 1000S, for proofreading and making annotations. I understood and accepted that the Wacom drew more power--but I wouldn't want it
just for
navigation.
Now, iRex has included the Wacom (with a higher
upfront cost and shorter runtime) on the 800--but just for navigation. In the original announcement, iRex said that the 800 was primarily for reading only--a high priced Kindle DX competitor, whose only real advantage is a better file system.
If the 800 proved to be stable and reliable (which the 1000 is not), and I could write on it, I would buy one to replace my 1000. For a larger
read only device, though, I'm waiting for Hanlin's new offering (my EZReader works, as I expect,
every time--no complaints--and I
trust it).
iRex's decisions
baffle me.
